Marais Antoine Hiking Trail (South)

Roquemaure, La Sarre et l'Abitibi-Ouest

Recognized as a favourite wetland for waterfowl, the Marais Antoine is one of the largest marshes in the region with its 2.8 k2. Designed by Canards illimités, you will find it in the heart of the countryside, on the edge of the immense lake Abitibi.

During the summer season, the swamp offers a magnificent spectacle that is constantly renewed. There is an abundance of cirpes, sedges, cattails and ribbons; 150 species of birds inhabit or fly over it.

Walking the trails, you cross fields before entering a swampy forest through a wooden sidewalk.

You must then climb a hill covered with mixed forest composed of black spruce, aspen, birch and some larches to reach the top, a viewing point on a rocky cape that gives you an overview of the marsh as well as Lake Abitibi and the dam controlling the water level. A footbridge on stilts allows you to access the inside of the marsh.
